Liverpool continued their perfect start to the 2025 /26 Premier League season with hard fought 1 - 0 victory over Arsenal at Anfield on Sunday evening.

Salah kept quiet by Arsenal’s defence

Mohamed Salah started and played the full 90 minute but endured frustrating night against Mikel Arteta’s well drilled defence. Early in the first half, Gabriel denied him clear chance with crucial header while appeals for fouls in the 20 and 42 minute went unheeded by the referee.
